MUSHROOM AND THYME RISOTTO CAKES WITH ROASTED TOMATO AND ARUGULA SALAD

Steps:

• In large heavy sauté pan over moderate heat, heat 3 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add 1/2 of garlic and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and sauté until mushrooms begin to give off liquid, about 5 minutes. Transfer to colander and let drain until ready to use.
• In medium saucepan over low heat, bring stock to simmer. Cover and keep simmering.
• In large heavy pot over moderate heat, heat 1/4 cup oil until hot but not smoking. Add onion and remaining garlic and sauté until softened, about 4 minutes. Add rice and sauté 4 minutes.
• Add wine and cook, stirring constantly, until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Stir 1/2 cup simmering stock into rice and cook, stirring constantly, until absorbed. Continue cooking and adding stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each addition be absorbed before adding next, until rice is tender and creamy-looking but still al dente, about 18 minutes. (You will have about 1 cup stock left over.)
• Remove from heat and stir in drained mushrooms, thyme, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cool to room temperature, then refrigerate, covered, until cold, about 4 hours. (Risotto can be made ahead and refrigerated, covered, up to 24 hours.)
• Preheat oven to 250°F.
• Transfer 1 cup flour, eggs, and bread crumbs to 3 separate shallow bowls. Stir 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into flour. Stir remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper into bread crumbs.
• Stir remaining 2 tablespoons flour into risotto, then, using wet hands, shape into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) patties.
• In heavy large sauté pan over moderate heat, heat 1/4 cup oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches of 4 and adding 2 tablespoons oil after each batch, dredge cakes in flour (tapping off excess), then egg (letting excess drip off), then bread crumbs, and fry until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Keep warm in oven while frying remaining batches.
• Serve warm with salad.

SARASOTA'S ROASTED TOMATO, ONION AND MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Romaine -- This to me is key -- I rough chop the romaine (not a final chop for the salad) and place in a large bowl with ice water. Yes, ice cubes and water. I want it icy cold so the romaine is very crisp. Just 15 minutes or so as the vegetables roast. This gets the lettuce nice and crispy for the salad which to me really makes this salad the best. Once the vegetables are done, remove the lettuce and drain well, dry off with just paper towels, and chop further for the salad and set to the side in a large bowl to be dressed.
• Vegetables -- In a large bowl add the mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, and olive oil, salt and pepper and toss well. Heat the oven to 425 and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper, foil will work just fine as well. Add the vegetables to the baking of cookie sheet and cook 15-20 minutes until tomatoes begin to soften and onions are slightly brown.
• Dressing -- As the vegetables cook, make the dressing. I like to use a small tupperware or small measuring cup. Just add all the ingredients, mix well, and heat in the microwave for 30 seconds on medium heat. DONE!
• Salad -- Just add the roasted warm vegetables to the chilled lettuce, warm dressing and the chilled olives and mix. Serve immediately.
• Serve with a baguette toasted with melted cheese and roasted garlic. A favorite. As I roasted the vegetables, I also roasted a few garlic cloves and then I spread the soft cloves on the bread and then topped with havarti cheese and bake until melted. What a simple nice side to the warm salad.

Top steak with horseradish sour cream.;
• In a saucepan place 1 teaspoon oil, garlic and shallots. Lightly brown. In a large bowl, toss tomatoes, mushrooms, 1 teaspoon oil and thyme and season with salt and pepper. Place tomatoes, skin side up, on medium hot grill for 8 minutes. Roughly chop tomatoes and add to the mushrooms.;

CURRIED TOMATO AND MUSHROOM SALAD

Steps:

• Using a 10-inch ceramic quiche pan or deep-dish glass pie plate, arrange tomato slices in an overlapping circular/spiral fashion. Tuck some of the sliced mushrooms between tomatoes and scatter the remaining on top. Sprinkle green onions evenly over the top. Set aside. Pour vinegar into a small saucepan, stir in brown sugar and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Remove from heat, mix in lemongrass, cover and let steep until cooled to room temperature. Using a fine sieve, strain vinegar into a small bowl and discard lemongrass. Whisk the remaining dressing ingredients (except cilantro) into the vinegar until well blended. Gently stir in cilantro. Pour dressing over tomatoes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 2-3 hours. Just before serving, cut a small slit in the plastic wrap at pan edge, carefully tilt pan and partially drain off dressing. Sprinkle with chives and lemon zest and serve. NOTE: - on occasion, I have used red and yellow cherry or grape tomatoes cut in half instead of sliced tomatoes and simply served in a clear glass salad bowl however, not as attractive - if you have access to heirloom tomatoes in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours, this salad has a real wow factor due to the jewel box effect and luscious flavours - for a tasty change, I have subbed Thai or holy basil (when available) for the cilantro

SPINACH, MUSHROOM AND TOMATO SALAD WITH GARLIC-CAPER VINAIGRETTE
